The showdown of DeepMind's AI and Ke Jie will be the highlight of the Future of Go Summit on May 23 until May 27. The Go World Champ will also take on two different formats such as Pair Go where AlphaGo is paired with two human players and Team Go where five human players will play against AlphaGo.
